Jimmie Lou was not only a friend to me but my other mother. Saying I loved her does not seem to be sufficient. I thank God for the gift of Jimmie Lou. Her love, guidance, laughter and support in my life will always be treasured. She was one of the truly "beautiful" people in the world. I will miss her so.
